Show/Hide Abstract
Across the world, accelerators are becoming more a part of the everyday life so there’s a significant effort to shrink the overall footprint of these accelerator system from national laboratory scale machines to a footprint that is reasonable for industrial and medical applications. At Lumitron Technologies we have developed an ultracompact high gradient accelerator. Operating at X-band 11.424 GHz with a distributed charge architecture, this system can produce a high-flux, tunable, mono-energetic x-rays that are ideally suited for range of novel, medical and industrial imaging applications. The underlying electron beam used is also a suitable source of very high energy electrons (VHEE) for FLASH radiotherapy.

Show/Hide Abstract
A hallmark of the High Baroque era, Bach’s iconic keyboard masterwork presents 30 variations on a tuneful Aria, meandering through a mesmerizing mosaic of musical material while exploring a diverse array of styles from all corners of the Baroque aesthetic universe. In this stunning translation for string trio, each part in the three-voice texture finds an avatar in a string instrument, inviting the collaboration of three individuals to create a harmonious whole. Beginning and ending with the same Aria upon which each variation is based, the piece represents a perfect synchronism of vibrant multiplicity and steadfast, unchanging unity. Program: J.S. Bach (arr. A. Bartholdy) - Aria with 30 Variations (Goldberg Variations), BWV 988 Hayne Kim, violin Sophie Choate, viola Cody Byrum, cello The performance will run approximately one hour without intermission.
